Popular Post Ashley Posted 26 January Popular Post Posted 26 January Lee Carlsey anyone? Previously linked. Plays an exciting style of football. England U21s manager, I wouldnt be against him having joint jobs. Could help us attract U21 players on loan to possible purchases. Go back to our old model what actually worked. If we could get it right with our youth coming through, the odd loan and experience then why not. 12
Spudulike Posted 26 January Posted 26 January Would we have considered the apointments made by other Championship clubs recently? Middlesboro.... Kim Hellberg Norwich............Philippe Clement WBA..................Eric Ramsay Clubs that seem to have more vision and knowledge than us. Certainly not the likes of Mowbray or Rowatt! 1

Muzzy_no7 Posted 26 January Posted 26 January Gary Rowett would come with his long time trusted assistant Mark Sale. He’s also big mates with Callum Davidson and Rory Delap and worked with both before. Sale, Davidson and Delap are all currently out of work too. Hes also worked with Kevin Phillips before having hired him at Stoke. Kevin Poole usually also his GK coach but he’s getting old now. Stowell would probably come back as he currently commutes to Plymouth.
Torten Posted 26 January Posted 26 January Hassenhuttl is a shout. Although he did most recently do pretty terribly with Wolfsburg.

He’s a really nice guy. Maybe too nice? Can’t shift this feeling that we need a taskmaster, and I’m not sure that’s him.

Eskay Posted 26 January Posted 26 January Given recent experience - they won't even have a shortlist yet and we will get someone totally unexpected. I am putting my money on the return of Dean Smith and John Terry!
Wink84 Posted 26 January Posted 26 January 15 hours ago, Angus Scott said: Why do people think King is the answer to our problems. He is part of the problem since he came back here as a coach. Why is the assistant manager not in interim charge? I hate this, he is part of the problem. How do you know that? Hes just a coach, he is doing what's told of him by his manager, he doesn't pick the team, he probably isn't giving the players instructions or pre or half time team talks. Its just a lazy throw away comment. Yes hes been here under Ruud and Marti but hes a young coach learning his trade. You cant blame him for anything that's happened, especially when you have no knowledge on what happens behind the scenes. 3

If we could get it right with our youth coming through, the odd loan and experience then why not. At this point I'd take him. I'd imagine he has a pretty extensive knowledge of the best youth players in the country that are not quite breaking into the U21's but have huge potential, would also give us a bit more of a pull for some of the U21 players who are fringe at their clubs and need game time. 1
Popular Post indierich06 Posted 26 January Popular Post Posted 26 January I would genuinely rather let King have a go until the end of the season, rather than get the chancer Russell Martin in. We so desperately need to abandon this idea of playing like Man City - that is NOT the Leicester way of playing, regardless of what Top would have us believe. The Leicester way of playing is what was instilled in this side by Pearson and evolved by Ranieri - not this Guardiola-lite rubbish that the likes of Maresca, Cifuentes, Martin etc are obsessed with. Even under Enzo it was dreary beyond belief. Anyone remember when we used to regularly beat Guardiola playing our own brand of football? My memory's not so short. 8
hinkfox21 Posted 26 January Posted 26 January How about Steven Gerrard. Seems like he still wants to manage

Saying that, they seem to be on the same post-winning FA Cup curse that has riddled us, Wigan and Portsmouth. Could be heading for the Championship...

He finished mid table with them and that is where they are now. Not saying he did a brilliant job there but I wouldn’t say it was terrible.

Theyre a basket case of a club and he kept them stable. They got rid of him and the next guy did worse.
brookfox Posted 26 January Posted 26 January Feels pretty clear Top came here to back him then sat through the match and experienced the performance and fan sentiment first hand and changed his mind. Hence the mixed interview messages. With that in mind, and how painfully slow we are recruiting (see DoF/CEO timelines) we won’t even have a shortlist. Not that I think it’s the right thing to do, but reckon King (plus maybe a bit of support) could be here longer than expected through sheer board incompetency. 1

LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 26 January Posted 26 January 2 minutes ago, EnderbyFox said: Some of the options being suggested in here are making me want to take a 2-3 year break from footy My only solace is that people were equally underwhelmed with Martin O'Neill and Claudio Ranieri! Compared to how highly rated the likes of Peter Taylor and Ian Holloway were when we appointed them. In truth you never quite know how a manager is going to fit in - and a lot seems to be down to luck. (I still really don't want Russell Martin, though!)
